Lelands Offers Extraordinary CDV Find Showing Baseball’s Beginnings

They don’t do a lot of the things that they used to do. Personalized customer service being one of them.

Great cards Ryan

This was SGC that told me, not a 'heard it through the grapevine' kind of thing. When I saw these I emailed SGC and they again told me they don't do CDVs, yet the Leland flips are the new style...

When I asked them about if they will grade something at a show they give me an email address to contact. I assume the sales people are not complete experts just someone to help making a username on the website.

Finally got a somewhat sensible answer today. Here is the email chain with names and my links removed (I left Leland's in, because it's a thread about them!)

Hi XXXXX, I was recently told at the Chantilly show that you don't grade CDV's, now I see Lelands has a ton of CDV's that you have indeed graded. Mine were civil war era, and themed, not baseball, but not sure why that would make a difference. Also I was told you simply don't do them, not anything about just doing baseball. It's a little frustrating because this collection is in our current auction and I certainly would've preferred to have them slabbed!

Hi Scott,

Thanks for reaching out. We appreciate your support. Unfortunately, we currently do not grade CDV's. I'm sorry to disappoint.

Please let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be more than happy to help.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Scott,


We do not do the historical CDV's at all. The ones listed on Lelands auctions are baseball ones. These are done on a case by case basis. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you!

So, they don't grade them, but sometimes do grade them?

I have no dog in this fight but I will point out that SGC stands for "Sportscard Guaranty Corporation" ...so the decision to grade baseball player CDVs and NOT historical figure CDVs makes sense to me.

They used to, but they have changed their standards somewhat recently. I sent in a 1930 Blue Ribbon Malt premium and they would only authenticate it, but they used to grade them.

You’ll see CDVs in new slabs because people got older cards reslabbed.

I know a GREAT guy at SGC. He returns emails same day and is always super helpful. I’ll give you his contact info if you need a point person there.

Those CDV’s are amazing and very tempting

Hard to stay focused on my collection with bling like that on front of us
